Anecdotique, mais agréable
Depuis l'an dernier, la Corée nous fournit des dramas BL de qualité. Cela dit ils sont encore frileux (et ils ne disposent pas encore du même budget alloué aux dramas coréens plus "classiques"), ce qui se ressent dans le format court des productions actuelles. En moyenne, celles-ci sont limitées à une huitaine d'épisodes, chacun d'une durée comprise en 10 et 20 minutes. Cela peut frustrer une partie de l'audience, mais pour ma part cela ne me dérange en rien, dans la mesure où ce type de format leur donne une contrainte supplémentaire les obligeant à se concentrer sur l'intrigue et à être efficaces (ça parlera à ceux qui s'y connaissent un peu en processus créatif). Juste histoire de comparer, nombre de BL Thais sortis sur le marché ont des caractéristiques communes : on va y trouver plein de digressions, scènes à rallonge, surjeu et réactions maladroites, scénarios vus et revus, histoires secondaires pas assez creusées, plans mal foutus, hésitations sans fin et placements de produits qui nous font lever les yeux au ciel... Bref, à part quelques exceptions récentes, on a souvent l'impression qu'ils sont en roue libre et qu'on a affaire à de gros amateurs à qui on a refourgué une caméra par hasard. Heureusement depuis 2/3 ans, leurs voisins nous offrent des productions bien sympathiques à se mettre sous la dent : Taïwan, les Philippines, la Corée évidemment, et tout récemment le Vietnam bien que ce soit encore très balbutiant. C'est une excellente chose, car désormais en 2021, l'audience dispose enfin de suffisamment de choix pour trouver son bonheur, se montrer plus difficile à l'occasion, du coup plus besoin de se ruer sur la moindre production thaï débile sous prétexte qu'il n'y a rien d'autre sur le marché.Alors j'avoue que je connais moins les dramas coréens, étant plus une habituée des lakorns thaï "traditionnels", et quelques rares séries chinoises (qui finissent bien s'il vous plaît, ce qui explique pourquoi je n'en regarde pas beaucoup...). Et si avec le temps je me rends compte que j'ai acquis de bonnes connaissances dans le sous-genre spécifique des BL asiatiques en général, il m'est tout de même difficile de comparer les productions coréennes classiques avec cette nouvelle niche que sont les BL chez eux. Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que même dans ces petites histoires sans prétention, on constate une volonté de nous fournir une intrigue bien ficelée avec un effort notable sur l'esthétique des plans, une bande-son agréable et jamais envahissante, et qu'une certaine poésie se dégage de ces dramas. C'est le cas de Color Rush, To My Star, Mr Heart, Wish You Your Melody From My Heart, ou encore Where Your Eyes Linger... Des petites histoires qui n'ont l'air de rien, mais qui je pense, nous préparent à la venue de BL plus conséquents et encore mieux foutus, l'avenir nous le dira. En tout cas ce sont des points que j'ai aussi relevés dans You Make Me Dance et qui justifient qu'on donne une chance à ce drama.
L'intrigue de You Make Me Dance relate la romance entre un jeune danseur solitaire et l'employé d'une société de crédit. Ce dernier s'impose dans sa vie et en vient à le soutenir pour qu'il gagne son audition, afin qu'il soit en mesure de rembourser sa dette. L'histoire est plutôt mignonne et tendre, on a de jolies scènes entre nos deux protagonistes, les acteurs jouent relativement bien et on évite de s'éparpiller dans tous les sens. Pourquoi ne mettre que 7.5 dans ce cas ? Simplement parce que malgré toutes les qualités de ce drama, le scénario ne m'a pas tellement passionnée et j'ai trouvé que les scènes manquaient un peu de profondeur, de sentiments forts. J'apprécie des histoires tendres et mignonnes, mais j'aime bien avoir le coeur qui bat un minimum et celle-ci ne m'a pas fait cet effet. C'est une question de goût et ça ne remet absolument pas en question l'intérêt de ce BL, qui plaira très certainement à d'autres spectateurs. Enfin, j'ai aussi trouvé que le revirement momentané d'un des deux personnages dans le dernier épisode (je n'en dirai pas plus) tombait de façon assez artificielle juste histoire de nous faire un peu peur pour les protagonistes, mais vu que les épisodes ne font même pas 20 minutes et qu'il faut bien boucler le drama à la fin de celui-là, on imagine bien que ledit revirement ne va pas durer plus de 5 minutes.
Malgré tout, le drama reste sympathique et de bonne qualité. Quant à la romance elle ravira les amateurs d'histoires tendres et douces, sans grosses prises de tête, d'enjeux compliqués ou de scènes problématiques propres à engendrer des débats. Quoi qu'il en soit, même si je ne pense pas que je le visionnerai de nouveau un jour, je ne regrette pas de l'avoir découvert. Et considérant la durée des épisodes ce n'est pas comme si on risquait de perdre son temps, alors pourquoi s'en priver ?

Uh
Before I start my lil rant, lemme clarify this : You Make Me Dance is not a bad drama, just not my kind of drama.With that being said, I still have to honestly say that I believe my already low IQ dropped a lot after watching all the eight short episodes. The plot was ridiculous, and the plotholes were so blatantly in my face. The cheesiness was full on from the first till the last episodes. I get that it was a short drama, but it felt like they couldn't care less about telling a story that makes sense.
Lemme point out the things that didn't work for me:
1. The debt premise. - The debtor lived in a fancy house and didn't even have any real job to sustain himself - he simply danced his heart out, hoping that his debt will magically disappear. Why oh why?
2. The hurt leg. - Someone intentionally hurt your leg, an important part of your body that your entire life depended on, and voila you simply let them walk away freely from you without even getting angry at them? Mind you, you don't even deserve it in the first place and didn't even get as much as an apology from it.
3. The I'll push my beloved away and hurt their feelings and be cold just because I gotta go somewhere far. What kind of bs is this in this modern era?!
4. The fancy house and the lack of job. Dude, if you were really that struggling with money, find sth less fancy to live in and get a freaking job!
5. The tied legs. Dude, use your hands and freaking undo it instead of hopping around like an idiot!
There were many others but I'm too tired to type them all out.
And I think the acting was pretty bad for a Kdrama with unnatural scenes playing throughout the 8 episodes.

Love from different worlds
This plot is very unique and well-executed. I enjoyed every part of it. Hong Seok and Shi On are from different worlds and have completely different lives but despite that, they managed to fall in love and I think that teaches an important lesson. Love is a crazy thing and it can happen in any situation, even between a debtor and a contractor.The drama is very fluffy and it's nice to watch given that it's very short. There was not a single awkward moment in the series, which is a very nice break from some of the mainstream BLs. It's a short and sweet drama, the leads have excellent chemistry and the acting is on point, and the story is very different and doesn't adhere to many tropes, and even the visuals are beautiful, so I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a short series to binge.

the story is cute, touching and beautiful (MUST WATCH)
The answer to If you should watch this is YES. It’s a must watch series, the story is unique from different BL dramas, it made me smile so much and filled my heart with warmth and love.The actors fit the roles perfectly and delivered the story beautifully.
I don’t usually rewatch any series no matter how much I liked them but this BL drama is one of a kind that makes want to rewatch it and I probably will in future when I am feeling down. I really loved it and you should definitely now go and watch, you won’t regret it.

Worth Watching
When I found out that there was another Korean BL coming out after To My Star, I was so excited to watch it! The first two episodes was eeee okay I guess. Just a basic introduction to the drama. But as the story goes by, I could actually see that their relationship and feelings for each other started to grow. A relationship from just being a debtor and a creditor to a couple is just cute lol. And adding the subplot about the red string that connects your destined lover is wonderful and a great idea?. The acting was on point but I do have to say that some acting were too cheesy and cringey :( But that is not a problem?. I actually hated both of the antagonist. Oh ya and before watching this, be careful and get ready for episode 7 & 8 because there's going to be a lot of kiss kiss?. JUST WATCH IT OKAY IT'S NOT A WASTE OF TIME. SO SWEET!!??Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Sweet & Refreshing
YMMD is a sweet BL that is short but to the point in all the good ways. The chemistry is great between the leads, there's appropriate conflict to propel the characters in the best dramaland has to offer, and there's plot.As with Korean BL's to date, this shows one shortcoming is length. There could have been a lot more foundation for the characters had there been a couple more episodes. That is really my only complaint. Getting past that though, this makes for an extremely pleasant watch. For such a short drama, we get some mild character development, lovely moments between the leads, and an actual plotline that manages to stay decently relevant throughout. The music is nice to listen to and the cinematography is on point. I appreciate the scenes when Shi On is dancing as they really made sure to focus on the moves and bring out the beauty. This left an honest smile on my face by the end and generally good feelings about the overall experience.
All in all, I would definitely recommend if you're a BL lover or even just looking for something short and wholesome to watch.

Worth the watch!
Yet another South Korean BL series that deserved a longer run time.I know without a doubt the show's execution of its plot would have been much better had more time been awarded, but I will always enjoy the premise of muses and thought the two main leads played their roles well (although there was a slight lack of chemistry during the kissing scenes).
Some characters were unnecessary, the music had little to no impact for me, but overall, You Make Me Dance is good for when you need something to cleanse your palate. Short, sweet, and simple.

I've seen better but loved the kisses
The story needed some improvement - ep 8 was completely unnecessary and the first few episodes were extremely depressing. Debtor is a depressing job, nothing romantic about that for me.The best part of this show was the kissing, thank you for real and intense kisses. I felt the emotion in those scenes.
The music was great but my biggest problem with the show is I WANTED DANCING!! I wanted to see a full routine, not fake snapshots. I was hoping the dancing would play a more central role, and I was very disappointed.
Other issues - running through snow with no shoes? Getting out of a car that he's driving to run all the way back home? Breath fogging indoors suggesting it's freezing inside? What happened with Hyeong's job at the end? Why didn't we get to see the villain's reaction in the end? What's the truth about Shi On's mother?

2nd Best KOREAN BL SERIES after…
Sorry its a second place for me becoz for me the best korean bl so far is "Where your eyes linger" that bl series is superb i love it, but "You make me so far" is also topnotch short bl series, but i was dissapointed becoz it really ended pretty quickly and its really fast paced huhuhu should have been made a FULL SERIES like 16 episodes (40-60 min duration per episodes) . i love also the refreshing plot, a dancer (contemporary i think?) And also a loan shark debt collector love story ok girl its weird pairing but worth to watch becoz ther chemistry is beyond my horizon and also to steamy kiss scene u cant im dead already, abd also the actors are so fcking handsome and all have very hot bodies, perfect for my 3 part meal lmao purr. Im a fan of Won Hung hoon i think i have a crush on him lmao i love him he is such a daddy material. Highly recommended it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A loan-shark and a contemporary dancer. Storyline both intrigued and fascinate me! The moment I saw the poster—I knew I must watch this mini-series. It literally captivated and compelled me.
You Make Me Dance is so beautifully choreographed—there isn’t a moment I did not like. I truly appreciate the simple scenes that are so sincere — it makes me feels warm and fuzzy.
I especially love the bond the creators showed us without making it overly sexual.
Truly a beautiful series that deserve more recognition and respect. I feel like it gets overshowed by other BL series that’s not even up to par. What a pity!

well executed!!
pros:- the storyline was really masterful, a really solid job for such a short drama
- actors were great, had good chemistry and cute moments (sometimes bls have bad kissing scenes where one of the actors is hesitant but not for this one :)
- i like how simple they kept it, they didnt try to introduce any unnecessary side characters
- pretty realistic, no repetitive, generic moments where all they do is fall on each other
- liked the way this drama incorporated dancing, very pleasing to watch
cons:
- i feel like their relationship progressed pretty fast, i kept having to reminding myself why they liked each other in the first place (wouldve been better if the show hinted about how much time had passed)
- sometimes i didnt like the debtor’s character (dragging and pulling his lead)
